Because I went back to the studio to paint a bit more, I found out about one major problem, which is the fact that the black and white painting doesnt suit the whole concept anymore…
(06.12. 2021 update: I am glad that I did not stuck to the black and white painting as it did not have any cinematic fact to it, which is something i took from a tutorial with Gary Colclough. There is focus on the subject, but actually what else?)
which is a problem not gonna lie. So my idea is to paint a bit more and maybe do another black and white painting which would be against the first one maybe.
NEW PAINTING
The new painting takes after the colour palette of the photographs, because I really wanted to continue in colours.
I am proud of myself that I enjoyed working on skin tones unusual to the usual ones. Meaning that I used brown and yellow. I would usually use red, white and maybe a little bit of yellow, to create a soft colour for my own skin.
(update 06.12.2021: I feel like I was trying to convince myself that I was working with unusual colours for skin, but I was actually just painting my own skin in a darker shade that I would usually do. In the future, I am planning in working in pink, blue and purple shades and combinations, which is I think more out of the unusual colour range for skin.)
I also tried outlining the next paintings. Giving them a starting point for the next time. It was quite exhausting, going from the library to the studio, so I didnt do much. But I will come back on monday to continue.
